A poem from a 10 year old's perspective :)

This was something I wrote to cheer my friend up... He wanted to write a poem for a ten year old. The poem which he wrote, I felt was rather gloomy and sad... so I decided to make a poem in 15 mins flat... and the result is for you to see! You must remember that the poem is supposed to be a 10 year olds perspective and done in haste :)

I run, I skip and I talk
I sing, I play and I walk
I see mysteries, I keep secrets
I have my dreams and I have my fears

Will my teachers crib?
Will my parents commend?
Will I score distinctions?
Or will I fail my tests?

I am reflection of my parents desires and their dreams
I am myself , my prizes and my schemes
I make up my own stories, I make it in my den
Where is my barbie and where is my Ben10?

Oh I love my computer
And I love my yo-yo
For my dreams I need an interpreter
And then there is Pogo

What year are we in?
Oh it is 2010
And I have another 5 years
To go before I finish my tenth.

I see television
I hear news
I know there is pain
And I know the issues

I know it can be done
I have certain views
How unfortunate
No one asks me for the cues

I am sure I can solve
And that I can resolve
But since no one asks
Off I go back to my world

I run, I skip and I talk
I sing, I play and I walk
I see mysteries, I keep secrets
I have my dreams and I have my fears
